I believe that the reason that J. Joaquin Fraxedas was tracking the hurricane in the story was to show a head what could happen to Juan. By doing this it could create some sort of suspense for all the readers. It would leave a question such like: is Juan going to be safe when the storm comes? Its questions like these that I think the writer's trying to create. The suspense makes the story reading and interesting. I think any write wouldn't want a boring plot that has no suspense. It would be like saying that sailing over the sea is as easy as sleeping. There is usually a conflict that is created. It is some times just between character in the plot or man vs wild type of conflict. Which in this case is true because of the hurricane. Tracking the hurricane is also a very easy way to forecast the plot of sail the sea. It helps the readers understand what can happen. Most authors have very distinctive details of forecasting events. This author had a very obvious forecasting of trouble coming towards Juan. It show it a lot during chapter five when he talks about hurricanes. So I believe that the author had tracked the hurricane so he could forecast and put suspense into the story.
